Hypertension is a significant cause of premature death worldwide. One of the management of hypertension in the elderly is healthy heart exercise. This study aims to determine the effect of healthy heart exercise series one in reducing blood pressure in productive elderly 45-59 years old in the Bangka Kenda Health Center area. The research method used is pre-experiment, one group pre and post-test design—the total sample of 30 people selected by purposive sampling. The analysis data involved using the Wilcoxon test. The cardio exercise series one after six times exercise significantly affected changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in productive elderly (p-value 0.000 <0.05). Healthy heart exercise series one is an alternative non-pharmacological treatment to lower blood pressure in the elderly productive.
